Overview

• Tennessee used the first overall pick on Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who is widely expected to start right away.
• The Titans tied for the most offensive turnovers last season with 34 as their defense ranked second in total and pass yards but lagged in scoring and situational metrics.
• Analysts offer a wide range of projections, from a predicted AFC South title to estimates around 7–10 or 8–9, with one ESPN prediction calling for 4,000 passing yards from Ward.
• Rookie wideout Elic Ayomanor is flagged as a potential early contributor alongside a veteran skill group that includes Calvin Ridley, Tyler Lockett, Van Jefferson and Tony Pollard.
• Key changes include the departure of pass rusher Harold Landry Jr. and additions such as tackle Dan Moore Jr. and edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones, while the offensive line remains a concern in early forecasts.
